Fat Joe‘s accuser has dropped claims of rape, child trafficking, and RICO violations from a lawsuit.

On March 26, lawyer Tyrone Blackburn revised the complaint filed by Terrance Dixon in the Southern District of New York. The updated suit now focuses on unpaid wages, copyright disputes, fraud, and forced labor instead of the earlier allegations.

Dixon had initially filed the suit last June after Fat Joe sued him for making damaging claims online.

Fat Joe’s attorney, Jordan Siev, responded, stating that Dixon and Blackburn’s original accusations were a baseless attempt to extort money.

The revisions, shifting the case to financial disputes over royalties and wages, further support their stance, Siev added. Fat Joe previously filed his own lawsuit in April 2025 over what he called an extortion scheme.

“From the outset, we have always maintained that Terrance Dixon and Tyrone Blackburn’s claims about Mr. Cartagena [Fat Joe] were nothing more than an elaborate shakedown to extract money from him,” the statement reads.

“Their decision to now voluntarily amend Mr. Dixon’s complaint — removing all allegations involving transporting of minors, statutory rape and RICO — and recast this matter primarily as a financial dispute about royalties and wages allegedly owed only reinforces that the allegations were baseless and that Mr. Cartagena is the one being targeted. It is exactly why Mr. Cartagena took the proactive step of filing a lawsuit against both of them in April 2025 and shedding light on their extortion scheme.”
